Magnussen linked to Indycar move

Should Renault fail to contract Kevin Magnussen, beyond 2016, the Dane could find himself plying his trade in the Indycar series with Andretti Autosport.

With Renault confirming Nico Hulkenberg, to spearhead their campaign for the next two years, Magnussen's future is being questioned as the French team have made no secret that they are also targeting Valtteri Bottas and have an option on the services of young Frenchman Esteban Ocon.

In a speculative piece, Racer claim that Magnussen is a possible candidate for Andretti's fourth car. For 2017 the team has already confirmed Ryan Hunter-Reay, Alexander Rossi and Marco Andretti.

Racer report: "Given Honda's clear appreciation for his talent, a driver of Magnussen's caliber would fit the brand's rededicated efforts to overtake Chevy's all-conquering IndyCar program."

Honda favorite, and former F1 driver, Takuma Sato is being considered for the team's fourth cockpit should Magnussen remain in F1. Andretti have not commented.
